## About

This weekend in Austin is peak "do I really want to be around this many people?" season—and the answer, apparently, is yes. Over twenty-two thousand folks are already locked into the city’s biggest events, so if you’re leaving plans to the group chat, you’re already behind. The vibes: spring is here, festival calendars are heating up, and every park suddenly looks like an Instagram backdrop with parking problems.

The big gravitational pull is around the 23rd Annual Lonestar Round Up!, the long-running hot rod and custom car party that basically turns Austin into a rolling car movie. It’s the one you book first if you’re into chrome, vintage vibes, and people who know way too much about engines. Expect classic rides, rockabilly energy, and a crowd that’s been doing this for years—they’re not here for the hashtags, they’re here for the cars.

Over at Auditorium Shores and Moody Amphitheater, you’ve got that classic Austin festival triangle: massive crowds, skyline views, and the kind of schedule that makes you consider bringing both sunscreen and a light jacket. Texas VegFest 2026 is the move if you’re veg-curious, fully plant-based, or just in it for creative food trucks and an actually chill festival scene. Meanwhile, the 3rd Annual Tacos & Tequila does exactly what it says on the tin: big-night-out energy disguised as a daytime food event. Show up hungry, leave texting people you shouldn’t after one “just-to-try-it” margarita too many.

If you live for chaos in a wholesome way, the 98th Annual ABC/Zilker Park Kite Festival is your north star. It’s families, couples, serious kite nerds, and that one guy trying to launch something the size of a studio apartment into the wind. Over on the more intense side of the spectrum, APRIL 4: MAYAN WARRIOR ATX is for people who treat sound systems like a religion—expect art car culture, deep electronic sets, and a crowd that’s been planning outfits for weeks. And if you’re more of a runner than a raver, the Austin Bangladeshis crew rolling into the 2026 Statesman CAP10K is the template: lace up, hit the course, and then unapologetically eat your way through the city after.

If you’re trying to actually make choices instead of doom-scrolling, here’s how to play it:

- 23rd Annual Lonestar Round Up!: For vintage car lovers, rockabilly kids, and anyone who thinks "they don’t make ’em like they used to."
- Texas VegFest 2026 at Auditorium Shores: Low-key, food-focused, and perfect if you want festival energy without the frat-boy chaos.
- 3rd Annual Tacos & Tequila: Big group outing, pre-game for a night out, or a casual way to accidentally overdo it on a Saturday.
- APRIL 4: MAYAN WARRIOR ATX: Late-night, artsy, burner-adjacent crowd; go if you live for lights, sound, and not knowing what time it is.
- 98th Annual ABC/Zilker Park Kite Festival: Daytime, kid-friendly, cute date material, and a masterclass in organized mayhem.
- Austin Bangladeshis at 2026 Statesman CAP10K: Inspiration if you need a reason to run before brunch—and a reminder this city really is a festival of its own.
